I always see posts asking for the “best apps”, so I thought it might be fun to flip the script. I originally thought this would be mobile-focused, but honestly I do the same thing on desktop.

I’d also be interested in any tools/techniques that help you achieve this. PWAs, scripts, mobile, desktop, whatever.

    A lot of things where the “app” is just a bloated Electron wrapper. The web version, if offered, is almost always better even if it lacks a few features.

      The ones that are the most entertaining are the ones where the web content packaged in the app is just a mirror of their website.

        Honestly, I kind of like the Electron wrapper apps. Maybe it’s a result of my tendency to have too many tabs open in my browser. I like the separate “app” on my desktop in those cases.
